Baby Jogger City Mini Review

Overall Rating

The pushchair folds and clips in best with the front wheel taken off. You can't carry it with the main handle if it isn't clipped as it unfolds on you. You can carry it with the fabric 'pull to fold' strap on the seat though. Now I am used to the high height of the handle it is fine but it is significantly height than other pushchairs I have used. I would prefer a foam handle grip to the rubber one that the baby jogger has, but this is a minor point and not a problem.

This push chair is great!. It looks stylish but has really practical and very well thought out features. It is easy to push and steer with one hand while I hold my son's hand, if he is walking next to me. The quick one handed fold is a brilliant idea and is very popular with us and the grandparents. Everyone is amazed when I show then how simple it is to fold with one hand and just a single pull! When folded it will easily fit between the seats on a bus. With the quick release wheels off it will fit flat in the boot of my Toyota yaris so there is loads of boot space left for a day trip out! The smooth multi position reclining seat is wonderful. My son has fallen asleep in it on several occasions and I simply slide the clip down smoothly to any position , even almost flat, and he is never shaken or startled. He looks comfortable and sleeps for a long time. I passed an owner of a quinny zap with a sleeping child today, looking very uncomfortable with no recline facility. I am so glad I chose the baby jogger city mini. The larger extending hood makes it quite shaded and darker so sleep is achievable on very sunny days too. We have found that we haven't needed to buy a separate rain cover as the hood covers all my son apart from his feet anyway. Our old travel system raincover fits fine too. The 2 velcro fastening viewing flaps are also really useful to check a sleeping child or to wave hell on a rainy trip out. It is sturdy and very well built. The shopping basket is large enough to carry a heavy bag of groceries and the behind the seat storage fits in a large raincover and drink/snacks. There is no danger of the pushchair tipping up if there are bags on the handle bars and no child inside.

I love this pushchair, I just wish I had bought it a year ago as my son is now 2 and walking more. We searched for a the cheapest UK price for a long time but Argos was still the cheapest at £129.99, much cheaper than kiddicare or other online suppliers. We didn't think the argos description did this fabulous pushchair justice!
